Say what you will about Freeman’s performance, or about his state of mind under the current coaching structure, but of the two, Freeman is the only one likely to have a long career as a starter in the NFL. I believe he’ll figure it out at some point, though maybe not with the Bucs, at this rate.

As for Glennnon … with the “mob” talk, I decided to google “Mike Glennon Highlights”, and watched a couple of youtube compilations from his last collegiate season … It seemed like 4 out of every five highlights featured the announcer saying “Glennon’s got plenty of time”, or similar, while Glennon stood in a huge, safe pocket for 4,5,6 seconds or more. ANYONE can make passes in that time and space.

What’s more illuminating is the way he looked in the preseason against NFL players and roster-wannabes. That glimpse made me think he might not even have a long career as a *backup* QB.

I surely hope Freeman shuts down this conversation with better play … But if he doesn’t .. .. I hope the next QB picked for the Bucs actually has some bigger potential.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:01:03 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3304007The problem with the offense at this time is coaching. They are trying to make Freeman into something he is not, a pocket passer. Freemans best attributes are being misused. Roll him out of the pocket. Design a few runs and open this offense up. Take the effing training wheels off. He is not Tom Brady.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:20:05 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3304002I have not commented on here before. But I am a huge fan of the Bucs since 1979 but didn’t really start paying attention until I could actually watch them play every Sunday, probably around 1995. I live in Indiana, but have missed maybe only 5-10 games since then & have attended 5 regular season games since 1996.

OK, I’m not a coach; I haven’t studied film. However, after watching enough football, it becomes easier to recognize certain, very simple things, for example, a kick-ass offense, which I don’t know about the lot of you who comment on here, and although we have all seen Tampa Bay have stand-out performances on offense, although it seems rare, right? But a well-oiled machine that scores at will? A well-balanced, consistent beast of an offense has been never really been a part of any team in this franchises’ history. A complete offense that dominates is what this offense should be. Until that run for the Super Bowl when they “turned it on,” I hadn’t seen a good Tampa Bay offense. They have finished in the top 10 in offense to finish the season just 3 times (2012-13, 2003-04, 1984-85); their highest finish ever, 9th, last year under Greg Schiano.

My point is, with the talent on this offense, it should be unstoppable. When they aren’t prepared for anything, it goes on coaching. Just like how I witnessed the dominating Bucs D come together with that killer instinct in the late 90’s until they won Super Bowl 37, I am seeing a window of opportunity for this offense with Freeman, Jackson & Martin (…and Williams). The 2 weaknesses, TE & the left side of the line, not having a healthy Nicks has hurt already. You have have a QB who can make all the throws with inferior protection schemes? No QB is invincible. Mike Sullivan as an OC has to use the strengths of this unit for the team, not against it. Make up for the weaknesses with creative adjustments, no matter what kind of D you face. This staff had to know what was coming from the Jets, right? Either way, this loss goes on the entire offensive staff, players & Greg Schiano, not David’s unfortunate penalty. With these guys on offense, they should be having a field day. Maybe Freeman doesn’t have it; he has been prone to mistakes, but if Jeremy Zuttah doesn’t snap that ball into the end zone for a safety, maybe the Bucs win. Everyone wants to blame Freeman, I get it. But the coaching staff needs to be held accountable just as much because there is a lot of talent that needs a system that plays to its strengths. Hey, maybe the Jets D is that good, too, but hey, Coach Sullivan, let’s not try to be creative with all this talent you got over there. Could have spelled Martin perhaps with one of the other guys. I’ve seen this before with less talent. Time to bring it up a notch. I like killer instinct in an offense; this offense has that, but it’s not being used that way. In other words, take more chances. It’s like that college coach who said the other day after his team won like 70-0. He said something to the effect, “I learned a long time ago, if you’re not trying to score, you won’t.”

Now when this offense does get going, I don’t know about anybody else, but this defense might be on its way back to being great, they aren’t playing flag football out there, this team could/should be very tough to beat. Drew & the Saints are gonna rip em apart, but how much will make a difference. Get the offense rolling though & this team could beat any team in the league.

Freeman, yes, he has to take blame. He’s not been elite. But Ronde said he needs to have fun. He always seems a little tense in his PC’s, not completely confident. Is it this system? Could be. Coaching? Possible. Is it him not truly grasping it? Very possible. The talent? Um, my guess is no on that. Freeman has what it takes, but it’s all gotta come together. Also, I agree about Olgetree, too; Underwood probably should have gotten that spot. They need Nicks, Lorig & Crabtree back soon. Oh, & if Glennon starts, season’s over.

If Glennon is out there in Week 5, then we’ll have a new GM and HC next year.

I’m 100% with you, more than you probably realize. I’ve spent a lot of time after a loss (and a poor game by Free) defending him. I am not a negative fan, not at all. I went to the Atlanta game a few years ago (Raheem’s last game) and saw us go down 42-0 in the second quarter. I stayed the entire game, cheered when we got a pick 6 to bring ourselves within a mere 35 points, and still don’t regret going to the game. I went to the 49ers game the same season and watched us lose 48-3. I will support this team whether we are 0-16 or 16-0. I will support whoever is coach, or whoever is QB. That doesn’t, however, mean they are free from being criticized. I rarely do it, but it is at times justified. After last week, it is justified. There are a lot of people to blame, but it starts with the coach and the QB. They better get it right, or at least one of them won’t be here next year. I’m all about us doing whatever it takes to get better. Glennon will not make us better, and he’s our only option for 2013. I’ll be up at 7am on Sunday, screaming my head off at my TV for the Bucs and Freeman. You can bank on that.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 05:29:07 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3303990Look, I know Freeman has faults. I’m not a goober head with my head in the sand. He has this year to put it together but it takes the whole team clicking for that to happen. We know Freeman can’t do it on his own, even though he tries. So with that in mind, I would still like to focus on winning and being positive. All this negativity has me and everyone else on edge and it is not conducive to a winning attitude. If every time the game came on and I said to myself we’re gonna lose, that would make me a sucky fan. I don’t accept defeat before I’m defeated that’s asinine. But there are those who revel in all the negatives and welcome defeat just so they can somehow prove themselves worthy cause they ripped on our QB all week like they were the real enemy. Hell, most of the time the enemy has nicer things to say about Freeman and the Bucs than a lot of our own fans.

LOL I do battle don’t I? I noticed when I said I was done with the site and would not blog anymore. I had quite a few people wanting me to come back. So I did. I just don’t like fighting with fans though. I don’t see the point in it.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 05:08:30 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3303987LOL I had the wind on my side. I was worried about that before the game. My wife and I held it up in our living room and the middle kept flopping over. So my plan was to find someone with a #5 jersey to help me out. Well it turned out the wind worked in our favor like a sail and we did not need anyones help. I had a bunch of fans taking pictures of it though. I held it up in 2 different spots in RJS.

So like I said before, when you see me calling for Freeman’s head. Then you know he’s done.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 05:08:03 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3303986Ok again, I wasn’t really talking about players supporting Josh as a teammate rather than supporting as an effiecient offensive line, WR catching everything, defense holding the opposition, special teams putting the team in great field positions and scoring points. That’s the support I was talking about. That’s the support the great QB’s get on great teams, but what you said was a nice gesture though, and I agree.

Don’t you cowtow to anybody. If you like Freeman and he stinks, your opinion is as valid as anybody else’s. I like Hawaiian. I read his posts and he is not a hater like some of the other guys you go toe to toe with. And like all of us he, BamBam, Macabee and others whose opinion I respect only have opinions like you and me. So pick up your sword and carry on the fight.

I say he does, or else he wouldn’t be here. I don’t consider him a magic entity that should bolster the play of those around him like other people seem to want him to.

“Would you say he is anywhere near an elite QB?”

Nope. Of course not. There are only 4 of those in the league.

“If you were the owners of this football team, would you invest $100M in Freeman off of what you’ve seen?”

Nope. Only elite QBs should get that kind of many, and I don’t consider Ryan, Flacco, or Eli elite.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 05:00:02 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3303982Pressure is part of the business. NFL players face so much pressure because their contracts aren’t guaranteed. It just comes with the job. I don’t think the scrutiny affects Josh one way or the other, at least I hope not. And like you said, I’m sure he could care less if I support him or not. The players are going to base their support on what they see on the field. They are the ONLY ones that know whose fault it is on a particular play. We can speculate all day long, but they know for sure. They see him everyday in practice, and they know exactly how dedicated or not dedicated he really is. So as far as the support of his teammates, I don’t believe anyone affects that but Josh Freeman himself.

Wed, 11 Sep 2013 04:58:53 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=95600#comment-3303981He may say that but trust me he peeks or listens, and even if he doesn’t, his team mates do. Don’t think it doesn’t effect them too, especially Penn and the offensive line.
